A practical guide for researchers on how to properly structure and share data with statisticians to ensure efficient analysis.
What is How to Share Data with a Statistician?
Data Sharing is a guide created by the Leek group to help researchers and collaborators share data effectively with statisticians. It outlines a structured approach to delivering raw data, tidy datasets, code books, and processing instructions to avoid common pitfalls and speed up analysis. The guide focuses on reproducibility, clear documentation, and efficient collaboration between data collectors and analysts.
Researchers, students, postdocs, and collaborators across disciplines who need to share data with statisticians or data scientists for analysis, especially those unfamiliar with best practices in data preparation.
It provides a concrete, step-by-step framework that reduces delays in data analysis by emphasizing tidy data principles, reproducibility, and clear communication, which are often overlooked in ad-hoc data sharing.
